Since then, she has carefully curated gift items and creativity-inspiring products for adults to celebrate our inner artist.

The Collage Cafe formally opened in September and has since hosted numerous workshops, including book binding and journal cover making.

Hopefully Q1 slows down enough for me to take advantage of this nearby workshop space.

Lindy founded the Grown-up Girls Club that allows women to gather every second Sunday of the month for an afternoon of creativity and inspiration.

From 1 to 4 pm, Lindy arranges for a project and provides a fun place to get away from daily chores and spend some quality creative time among like-minded women.

I’ve already gifted the lovely deck of inspirational cards Lindy created, and am making a wish list for the holidays.

I also have a few of my bangles and pendants in the store.

Those bangles garnered a commission, which was so much fun to create.

It’s inspiring to see artists open up storefronts and I am excited that Main Street has so many new businesses popping up. It’s an affirmation that I live in the right community of like-minded people.

I’m also impressed by the clear vision Lindy communicates through the aesthetics in her store. Her color-palette and product selection indicates a strong sense of her brand, which my inner marketer appreciates and values.
